I'm being serious.
Most remakes pale in comparison to the originals, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Omen (sticking with the horror theme). Some are purely diabolical, Psycho and The Wicker Man. Some are okay, The Wolfman, Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Then there are those that surpass the original like The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
But as bad (and it really was bad) as the Nicolas Cage version of The Wicker Man was, in the UK we got a magnificent 3-disc version of Robin Hardy's classic on DVD. Thanks to The Wolfman, we got the US Legacy Edition of the Lon Chaney version and so on.
Besides, I'm not one of those who thinks that bad remakes devalue the originals. I love Psycho, The Wicker Man, Halloween, Planet of the Apes and The Evil Dead, but in no way does knowing (and indeed, seeing) later versions spoil my enjoyment of them, any more than Jaws: The Revenge, AvP2, Beverly Hills Cop III or The Howling VII ruin my enjoyment of the first parts of their franchises.
And, on-topic, The Crow is a great film. City of Angels, Salvation and Wicked Prayer were not.
